Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive,
to the voice of my supplications!
If you, O Lord, Should mark inequities,
Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with you,
that you may be worshipped.
I wait for the lord; my soul waits,
in the Lord’s word, I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord, there is steadfast love,
with the Lord is plenteous redemption.
And the Lord will redeem Israel,
from all inequities.
